<p class="bodytext">If you need to serve a domain name or several domain names that point to a web site hosted on another server:</p>
<ol class="procedurelistnumber"><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click the <strong class="specialbold">Clients</strong> shortcut in the navigation pane.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click <strong class="specialbold">Add New Domain</strong>.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Specify the domain name. <p class="listcontinue">Leave the <strong class="specialbold">www</strong> check box selected if you wish to allow users to access the site by a common and habitual URL like www.your-domain.com. Having the www alias preceding the domain name will allow users to get to the site no matter what they type in their browsers: www.your-domain.com and your-domain.com will both point to the site.</p>
</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Leave the <strong class="specialbold">Create domain without template</strong> option selected in the <strong class="specialbold">Select template</strong> menu.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">If you have a number of IP addresses to choose from, select the required address from the <strong class="specialbold">Select an IP address</strong> drop-down box. <p class="listcontinue">Bear in mind that e-commerce sites need a dedicated IP address (not shared among other sites) to implement Secure Sockets Layer data encryption.</p>
</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Make sure that there is a check mark in the <strong class="specialbold">Proceed to hosting setup</strong> check box and click <strong class="specialbold">OK</strong>.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Choose the forwarding type: select either <strong class="specialbold">Frame forwarding</strong> or <strong class="specialbold">Standard forwarding</strong> option. <p class="listcontinue">With standard forwarding, a user is redirected to the site and the actual site's URL is shown in the user's browser, so the user always knows that he or she is redirected to another URL. With frame forwarding, a user is redirected to the site without knowing that the site actually resides at another location, therefore, <strong class="specialbold">Frame forwarding</strong> should be preferred.</p>
</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click <strong class="specialbold">OK</strong>.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Specify the destination URL: the current web site address that you would like this domain to point to.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Click <strong class="specialbold">OK</strong>.</li><li class="procedurelistnumber">Repeat the steps from 1 to 9 to add as many domain forwarders as required.</li></ol><p class="bodytext"></p>
